Microsoft and the Apple iPhone
December 2, 2009
Short honk: I am sitting yet again in the international terminal in Hotlanta’s airport. I hear a conversation between two 30 somethings about their recent Microsoft experience. One had on a Microsoft T shirt, so maybe one was a “real” Microsoft engineer. The snippet of their enthusiastic conversation was that 25 percent of Microsoft employees use an Apple iPhone. I know that the spiffy Microsoft store on the Redmond campus sells only mobile devices with Windows Mobile 6.5 living in the devices’ solidstate heart. Pretty startling market penetration if true. With an Android phone from Google heating up the blogosphere, can Microsoft make headway? I wonder if I can get paid to use a Windows 6.5 phone?

I wish to disclose to the General Services Administration that I was not paid to write about the iPhone or the Google Android phone. I presume both of these devices will be on the GSA schedule.
